Unreal Camera Stutter Caused by Convai Base Player Class

The Convai Base Player Class is missing camera options that allow smooth camera movement in Unreal. This results in jerky camera movement when rotating the camera while moving. I believe Use Camera Pawn Rotation being missing is the primary reason.

Convai Base Player

Unreal Default Character

First is Convai character demonstrating stutter. Second is default first person character.

Disregard the video because the video codec smoothed out the stutter.

Hello @nathan,

Is this a new project? Would you like to try our beta package?

Hey K3, I tested in a new project. This bug will occur in all Unreal projects that use Convai. It’s hard to show in a video because it’s frame rate dependant but if you move in one or two directions and turn simultaneously, the camera stutters because the Convai Base Player class does not have camera components setup the same as the base character class. I spent 8 hours using process of elimination with new projects and camera rotation settings to be sure the Convai Base Player class is the reason.

We’re still developing on the current public Convai build. I can try out the beta build.

@K3

We have a beta package. I will share the details via PM.
